Keys to a happy home

Just wanted to share some tips from a recent mini album, "Keys to a Happy Home."  The cute Maya Road key album was a great way to showcase family photos and also serves as a reminder to myself of what's really important in our family life.  In the process of creating it, I discovered some new ways to stretch my ever-growing stash of letter stickers... an added bonus!

Here are a few of the finished pages:
